Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, Cape Town - South Africa
The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is one of Cape Town’s most popular tourist destinations, and includes stunning scenic views, abundant shopping opportunities, a wide variety of restaurants, accommodation, and diverse forms of entertainment enjoyed by tourists and locals.
The V&A Waterfront lies at the base of Table Mountain, and is part of of Cape Town’s working harbor, offering a wonderful outdoor experience of ocean and mountain views, and yachts and fishing trawlers going about their daily business in the working harbor. The crisp sea breeze and a warm African sun adding an extra dimension to the vibrant, cosmopolitan atmosphere.
The Waterfront offers more than 400 shopping destinations, and over eighty restaurants offering a flavor-fusion of international foods, from casual fish and chips enjoyed in the open air tables on the jetty, to formal starched table-cloth gourmet cuisine.
One of the most popular tourist attractions in the V & A Waterfront is the Two Oceans Aquarium.
No visit to the V&A Waterfront would be complete without enjoying a boating experience of some kind. There are also a wide variety of daily cruises that leave regularly from the harbor - sunset cruises, champagne cruises, dinner cruises... as well as harbor sightseeing cruises.
The V & A Waterfront is also the gateway to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was held prisoner for many years. Ferries leave at regular intervals to the island from the Nelson Mandela Gateway.
